Learning what to buy

[diverrick]

Since I started looking for a Cobra, I find a large amount of people offer a "Kit" Cobra.
The problem come up when you start comparing apples to oranges
I have nothing to compare to, to decide which one for what price.

What I was thinking was, I'd start a thread to see who thinks which model is the best one. and maybe set up a "senority list" if you will. This might have already done,so if so, please let me know, and I'll move over there..
I have seen from 19K to 100 K and they all seem to look the same to my uneducated mind, a newbe. So please be aware that I am just starting on this quest, and therefore might ask questions that have already been asked.
I would say to start out that Kirkham it appears is at the top, but that's just my opinion, based on what I have read.
I'd like to see FFR, Shell, lone star,Morrison, Etc. compared.
I already noticed the Lone star has a different frame as most cars.
Just looking to feel out which one is the car for me.
Lone star web site comes up dead BTW, so that leads me to wonder if they even exist anymore.
If someone could do a graph, that would be wonderful.
